This was my first time having Korean Cuisine (at least, I think so)…read more We had some time in between meetings so, we decided to sit and take the time to do the "cook at the table" menu. The meal my coworkers ordered included some meats, vegetables, and a fish soup. The soup was extremely hot but, once it was safe to taste it, it was delicious. Hearty, flavorful, really good! I'm not sure if you are allowed to cook the meats yourself but, our server did it all for us, explaining the right way to do it, and how to tell when all is cooked. I really enjoyed the process, I've always loved watching people cook and open kitchen restaurants so, this was fun for me. On top of that, everything was cooked perfectly and all tasted so fresh. They also had a sort of mini salad bar on the side, with some few items for you to help yourself from. I only tried the pumpkin soup. I was a little hesitant at first but loved it. It's creamy, a little sweet plus, it's pumpkin so, you feel like it's good for you. If I'd known of this before I had all the food on our table, I would have had seconds. Do note, the two servers we had did not speak English. Thankfully I was with locals so they helped me order, if not, I'm sure pointing at the pictures in the menu (those are helpful) would have done the trick.

I always hit up Sorabol's TST branch with my family -- it offers a fantastic KBBQ selection and has…read morea mad cozy atmosphere, making it great for groups. Though Sorabol's Causeway Bay branch seems to be more popular, you'll still need reservations to chow down in TST - you're not missing out! As a party of five, we ordered a pretty wide selection of side dishes including two types of kimchi (which were later refilled four times - for free!). We began the main part of the meal with one portion of the Sliced Beef Chuck Flap, two of the Marinated Top-Grade Short Ribs, and a basket of lettuce to accompany them. A server usually comes by to prepare the barbecue dishes, but it was apparent that the restaurant was quite understaffed, strangely enough on a Friday night, so we cooked them ourselves. That being said, the quality of the beef was sick, being perfectly tender with a tang of sweetness. Its marinade made it sweet enough so that it would've tasted great without any additional flavoring, but also mild enough so that it got even better with a dipping sauce of sesame oil and fine sea salt. The Seafood Pancake was just the right amount of crispy with plenty of seafood per slice, and it came with a nicely curated soy sauce with scallions, sesame seeds, and fresh chili slices. When it came time for the Seafood Noodles Hot Pot, however, it took quite a while to get someone to come and cook it (they got distracted multiple times), and they forgot to return when it was finished. Overall, I'd say this: the friendly attitude of Sorabol's service was great for our experience despite the shortage of help. The price you pay, though relatively higher than some other KBBQ joints, is pretty reasonable considering the value you get in food quality. Will definitely be back!

Please note that the discount doesn't apply to seafood, drinks, and the options on the small piece of white paper (signature item). I haven't went out for hotpot for a long time since in Toronto most of the hotpot places are ayce which I dislike. In hk, there are more a la carte places than ayce. The hotpot here is taiwanese style, but I don't think it's very authentic - it's modified to suit the preferences of hk people. The selection for soup bases is quite slim - only 4 options. We had the pickled cabbage and pork soup base and it came with lots of toppings already. The soup base was average, not very strong or rich enough in taste. In taiwan the base is much richer and more flavourful. Toppings wise the selection is average. Food quality was good. The dumplings/wontons and fish/meat balls were excellent and you can taste they were made with quality ingredients. Better than many other hotpot places. Not a lot of fatty meat and lots of variety. The pork meatball with salted egg yolk center was so unique and pretty good! The portions for the cheaper options were bigger than the portions for the more expensive ones which is understandable. The sauce options were very limited. There's mainly only soya sauce. Other places usually have many more options. Environment was nice since it's newly renovated. They have drawers built into the seats so you can put stuff inside. Overall 4/5 - would come again if they have a discount. Probably not if no discount.

Firstly, I want to call out the amazing service here. I was sitting outside but there is indoor seating and an upstairs. A boy came here with crutches and his table was upstairs. unfortunately they don't have an elevator but the host offered to piggy back him up which I thought was amazing. The host also kept giving people a heads up whenever the nearby lot had a cop giving out parking tickets. You can just tell that the staff was very customer first by the type of personal and unconventional service they provided which I, myself have never seen anywhere else before (literally in the world). Location wise, it's right on the water front on sai Kung, so the view is quite pleasant while you're enjoying your meal. After you order your dishes, you can go over to the giant fish tanks to pick out the fresh and live seafood. Literally every dish I had was absolutely amazing in flavor and super fresh. There's a few other Michelin Star rated seafood restaurants within walking distance but I've been told that the flavors here are unparalleled to. Here are some of the things we ordered in no particular order and hopefully somewhat correct names: Fish soup (5/5): surprisingly my favorite most memorable dish. Strong flavors without being overwhelming Fried squid cake (3.5/5): not as special as other items but great texture, crispy on the outside, similar to a deep fried fish ball Geoduck sashimi (5/5): super fresh ! Fried tofu (4.5/5): on the house and probably one of the best fried tofu I ever had. Crispy on the outside and the softest tofu ever inside. Fried abalone (4/5): great deep fried flavor. My only complaint was it was a little chewy but that might also be the natural texture of abalone Fried bigass shrimp whose English name I don't know but directly translated to "pee itself shrimp" (5/5): one of my top dishes, as large as a lobster. Tasted like lobster, deep fried flavor to perfection, but difficult to remove the shell from *update: mantis shrimp is the name* Uni fried rice (4/5): fried rice was cooked to perfection but I had to knock off a star just because it didn't really capture the uni flavor Crispy chicken (5/5): full of meat and flavor was on point, I was amazing at how they were able to make the skin on chicken so crispy as if it was Peking duck Red striped crab cooked in egg white (4/5): a little bland for my liking but the crab meat resembled the middle ground of king crab and singleness crab. Very simple flavors for those who like that Stir fried surf clams in black bean sauce (4/5): good flavor, cooked perfectly, but very similar to regular stir fried clam I would totally come back again on my next visit to Hong Kong! It's a shame that it is a bit of a journey and the best way there is if you know someone with a car, but worth it!
